Japan is a very beautiful country. When I was little, I watched ``Naruto'' with my girlfriend's older brother at my girlfriend's grandparents' house, and that's when I became interested in the Japanese-style buildings in anime.
When I was in high school, I became addicted to reading. One day, I opened the book in my hands, and the first paragraph I read was: ``The footsteps and voices are absorbed by the late spring sky, and instead of being sharp and audible, they take on a soft roundness.'' Yukio Mishima wrote about the Japanese seasons in the book, ``I can hear it.''Although there is no scent of flowers or mountain haze in the book, you can feel the mellow Japanese spring air in your ears and on your skin. It is a sentence that seems to come to mind. It also makes me want to go to Japan more.
So, when I was in my second year of university, I heard about my school's exchange program and immediately started studying Japanese. Eight months later, I took JLPT N2 and immediately applied for the exchange program in the spring of 2024. At the same time, my specialty is finance, so I have always been interested in Japan's rich real industry and developed financial industry, and I want to study it in depth and learn about Japan's economic theory and macroeconomic policy.
Hyogo Prefecture is a beautiful place, and the famous Himeji Castle and Kitano-cho Yamamoto-dori are also located in Hyogo Prefecture. And I am in Kobe City, the prefectural capital. When I go to Kobe, I feel the clash between traditional and modern culture.
　This past year, I have to not only study hard, but also fully experience Japanese culture. At the same time, I want to introduce Chinese culture and become a bridge between China and Japan!

Life at the University of Hyogo not only allowed me to improve my expertise, but also gave me the opportunity to experience Japan's higher education philosophy and culture. At the same time, there were international students from all over the world at the school, and through interactions with them, I was able to share our cultures, participate in events celebrating their national holidays, and gain a broader perspective on the world. Through this exchange program, I feel that my understanding of the world has become more rich and diverse.

Not only that, but I was also able to make many good Japanese friends. They were very kind and helped me in various aspects of life and study. Talking with them not only improved my Japanese conversational skills, but also deepened my understanding of Japan. I am truly grateful to the Japanese friends I met during the exchange program.

Especially, as my Japanese language level improved, I started traveling to different places, which was very different from when I first arrived. I had the chance to visit the traditional streets of Kyoto and Nara (Japanese temple and shrine architecture, which is my favorite), as well as experience the vibrant atmosphere of Osaka and Tokyo. This made me realize that Japan is a modern country built upon an ancient civilization. Everywhere, I felt the collision of culture and technology, the fusion of tradition and modernity, and I became completely captivated by its charm. During the summer break, I climbed Mount Fuji. As a child raised on the plains, climbing such a tall mountain for the first time was very challenging, but I persevered and finally reached the summit.

My major is finance, but I have always dreamed of studying in Japan. I taught myself Japanese after school while I was in China. Before coming to Japan, I had reached the JLPT N2 level, but I needed N1 to pursue graduate school. Therefore, I am extremely grateful to "HUMAP" for granting me a scholarship. Thanks to "HUMAP," I was able to focus on studying Japanese while exploring Japanese culture. Eventually, I passed the JLPT N1 and was admitted to the graduate school of my dreams.
